The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

"Master, it's not good, Concubine Tong Gui is gone." Shiliu was taking a lunch break when Mammy Hu hurried in and said.

Hearing this, she jumped up, "What?" Concubine Tong Guifei was not in good health, everyone knew she wouldn't last long, but the fourth elder brother died only half a month after his wedding, Pomegranate still felt that it was sudden enough.

It's no wonder that the last time I saw her in the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager murmured something about returning to the light.

"Clean up and let's go to Chengqian Palace." Changing into plain clothes, Shiliu got on the sedan chair and went to Chengqian Palace.

When she arrived, many people had already arrived. Seeing her, they all saluted and greeted her. Pomegranate rushed into the house without stopping, but was stopped before she could rush in.

"Princess Concubine, you can't go in?" Shiliu knew the person who stopped her, and she was the empress dowager's maid in the Palace of Compassionate Ning.The nanny seemed to be waiting here on purpose. Seeing that Pomegranate was puzzled, she leaned into her ear and said, "Your Highness, you are carefully colliding with your body."

Just as Shiliu thought, Mammy was indeed waiting for the princess here.The empress dowager learned about this and was worried that she would not understand the taboos, so she sent someone to stop her. The nanny just went to see the empress dowager, but the princess came here.Fortunately, she came out quickly, the princess just arrived at the main hall and hadn't come in yet.

Speaking of this, she even glanced at Hu Nanny behind Pomegranate complainingly. Not to mention the royal family, even ordinary people should know this kind of rule. Why didn't Hu Nanny tell the princess in advance, almost breaking a taboo.

Hu Nanny said that she was wronged, how could she not say such a thing, but the princess was worried that others would talk about her if she didn't show up, so she insisted on coming here.

"I won't go in, Nanny Hu, go in and have a look for me." Shiliu stopped and turned to order Hu Nanny.Everyone in the palace knew that Nanny Hu was her confidant, and when they saw Nanny Hu, they naturally knew that she was coming.In addition, she asked Shiliu to find the eldest maid of Chengqian Palace. She was also idle, and she happened to ask about Concubine Tong Gui.

The person who came to report the letter only said that Concubine Tong Gui was gone, and nothing else.

Weeping Willow didn't wait for her to come, Da Fujin and his wife came first, "Brother, sister-in-law."

Eldest brother backed away, "Crown Princess." He turned his head and said to Da Fujin, "You and Crown Princess wait here, I'll go in and offer incense."

Da Fujin is also pregnant so naturally she can't go in, but fortunately there is a big brother here, so it's the same for big brother to replace her.

When Eldest Brother left, Da Fujin sighed, and she dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief, "Although we all know it in our hearts, I still feel bad when I hear the news."

"Who says it's not, but it's not easy for Concubine Tong to survive until now, at least I saw the fourth brother get married." If the fourth elder brother still gets married according to the original plan, Concubine Tong may not be able to survive until then.It's just that she can't watch the fourth elder brother get married and leave regrets, and the fourth elder brother has to observe the filial piety for her for three years according to the rules, and the brothers behind his filial piety will also not be able to marry.The worst would be Cedar, and it would last three years.

Now, although the two newlyweds are gone, anyway, Xuesong passed the door, and then the two closed the door and kept their filial piety.

"The emperor is here, and His Royal Highness is here."

Shiliu and Da Fujin stopped talking, and hurried over to pay respects. "Daughter-in-law greets Khan Ama. His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Exemption."

Yinfeng quickly helped Shiliu up, "Why are you here?"

Kangxi also nodded, "Shu Yuan, you are heavy, so don't worry about it, go back." He glanced at Dafujin again, thinking about how much the boss attaches to this child, "You are too, old man, give it to the noble concubine Don't worry about your size, don't follow the crying spirit."

As a direct son and daughter-in-law, Shiliu naturally doesn't have to cry for Concubine Tong, but Dafujin is different. Concubine Hui is only a concubine. According to the rules, she has to cry for seven days like everyone else.

Kangxi knew that Da Fujin's health had not been very good, and it was not easy to cry for seven days. If something happened, it would be troublesome.Anyway, the boss is here, and it's the same if they are husband and wife, so he gave this grace.

"Thank you Khan Ama for your kindness." The emperor spoke, and Da Fujin breathed a sigh of relief.Just now she was still struggling with this matter, but now that the emperor himself spoke up, she followed suit.In her heart, nothing can compare with this piece of meat in her stomach.

Kangxi is here, Shiliu is not in a hurry to leave, she waits for the prince to come out after offering incense, and the two of them will go back to Yuqing Palace together.

On the way, Shiliu asked Yinfeng, "Is it alright for us to leave like this?" Although the crown prince is a legitimate son, they don't need to cry, but they all understand that Concubine Tong Guifei has a different position in the emperor's heart. If it is not because of the fourth elder brother, she should be the next successor up.

Yinreng tidied her hair, "It's okay, after all, she's not a successor." Even Empress Xiaozhao didn't let Yinreng cry with her at the funeral, let alone her.

"You said, will Khan Ama raise the status of Concubine Tong this time?" We all know that the emperor is harsh on the concubine, but when the concubine passes away, he will still raise the status symbolically to show his favor.

"No," Yinreng replied decisively, "Ama Khan has planned for a long time, at most it is to give a special posthumous title." After this matter, he said that he would not promote Concubine Tong Gui, lest the Tong family's heart would be too big, and the fourth brother would not be easy to do.But Tong Guifei's status in his heart is similar to that of Er Niang.

The so-called special posthumous title is that Khan Ama intends to confer the title Xiaoyi on Concubine Tong Gui.

Filial piety is not something that anyone can use, it is a word that only empresses and queen mothers can use.

"Are you unhappy?" Xiaoyi, she didn't expect Khan Ama to have such an idea.A noble concubine actually has the same posthumous title as the queen. She was really worried that the prince would have ideas about such a slap in the face.

Yinfeng was silent for a moment, and then sneered, "A dead person, that's not enough." Now that Khan Ama is the emperor, it doesn't matter what he says, at this time, even the prince can't resist.

Want to say happy?Of course he was not happy. Once this posthumous title came out, it was tantamount to stepping on his mother-in-law.What will others say?

Even if he ascends the throne himself in the future, he still has to worry about his fourth brother, and this posthumous title cannot be changed.Yinfeng was naturally aggrieved.He didn't want to make Pomegranate unhappy, so he said this.

Shiliu and Yinreng have known each other for so many years, although they are not often together, she also knows Yinreng well.She comforted: "Don't worry, you must ask the Empress Dowager about this matter, and the Empress Dowager may not agree."

The emperor has affection for Concubine Tong, so it is inevitable to be biased when considering things, and his heart is biased towards Concubine Tong.The Empress Dowager is sober. If this posthumous name comes out, not only the Hesheli family but also the Niu Hulu family will be slapped in the face. Now that Concubine Tong is gone, the imperial concubine Niu Hulu's family dominates the harem.

The fourth elder brother will be in the palace for at least three years, and the imperial concubine Niu Hulu doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to express a little bit of dislike for the fourth elder brother, some people are trying to curry favor with her and embarrass the fourth elder brother.

The emperor may not be able to think of these things for a while, but the empress dowager must be able to think of them.

Yinfeng thought about it, and he sighed, "The fourth brother has a deep relationship with Concubine Tong. He will be very sad if Concubine Tong is gone. In the future, you should take care of the fourth brother." He lost his mother since childhood, and he understands What is it like to be without a biological mother, just for this point, even if Khan Ama really gave Concubine Tong such a posthumous title, he would have nothing to say against it.

Pregnant women have many taboos, and Pomegranate did not go to Chengqian Palace to show off. She asked Weeping Liu to report to Chengqian Palace every day on her behalf, while she nestled in Yuqing Palace to raise her baby.There is also the prince, he also goes to Chengqian Palace with the emperor every day for incense, and he can't say anything about the prince concubine without him.

Chengqian Palace is completely white, even the bright eyes in the palace have been taken off, Pomegranate has been married for less than half a year, and there are red lanterns everywhere in Yuqing Palace, the big happy characters are very dazzling.When she came back from Chengqian Palace, those lanterns were also taken off.

The servants of Yuqing Palace understand the rules, so Pomegranate does things smoothly and saves a lot of worry.

She nestled in Chengqian Palace to raise her baby and didn't know that there was a farce in Chengqian Palace.

Everyone in the palace knew that the relationship between Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Tong Shu was not harmonious, and many people privately said that Concubine Tong Guifei's illness had nothing to do with Concubine Tong Shu.But at the funeral of Concubine Tong Gui, Concubine Tong Shu passed through the crowd and lay down in front of Concubine Tong's coffin and lost her voice in pain.

The place where Concubine Tong Shu knelt was chosen cleverly, just in front of Concubine Niu Hulu, it looked as if Concubine Niu Hulu was kneeling and saluting her.Concubine Niu Hulu's crying was choked in her throat, and she kept exerting force on the fingers holding the handkerchief, as if she was holding Concubine Tong Shu.

Concubine Rong, who was kneeling behind her, was also very upset. She leaned over and said, "Mother, is it against the rules for Concubine Tong Shu to do this? Do you want to send someone to pull her down?" Concubine Tong Shu is not a concubine enjoying the status of concubine now. Even if Concubine Rong were to kneel her down, Concubine Rong would be very upset.

"The concubine knows what the empress is worried about, but there are many clan princes Fujin kneeling behind us, do you think they can feel at ease?" The prince Fujin is a first-class concubine, but the concubine has no rank, and her status is not as good as what she often promises. .On the surface, others may not say anything, but what about in the future?Who can guarantee that others will not complain in private.

At that time, people will not only say that Concubine Tong Shu does not obey the rules, but also say that the concubines who manage palace affairs are incompetent.

The expression on Concubine Niu Hulu's face changed, and she took a deep breath. She said in a deep voice, "Concubine Rong is right." It's all women who think they can't see what Concubine Tong Shu means. Now that Concubine Tong is gone, she is the only one of the Tong family in the harem. This woman is bound to be in power, she wants to show sisterly love in front of the emperor.

Now is the time when the emperor is sad, maybe he will promote her to the imperial concubine or imperial concubine in a flash of his brain when he sees this scene.

She doesn't care who is in the same position as her, but Concubine Tong's performance of stepping on her sister's position makes her sick.

"Concubine Tong Shu, I know that you have a close relationship with the noble concubine and sisterly love. But this is the palace, you should pay attention to the rules. You are no longer the Tong family, but the emperor's concubine. Your rules are wrong. Others It will only say that the royal family is wrong, not that your Tong family is not good at rules."

Concubine Niu Hulu was not afraid of the Tong family. What she said made everyone forget about crying, and they all stared at Concubine Tong Shu in a daze, and some secretly looked at the Tong family.Seeing this, many people began to whisper again, Concubine Niu Hulu said she was polite, the Tong family didn't know etiquette at all, it seems that the people who came here were all ordered wives, and the last thing was ordered.Fortunately, the Tong family brought Longkodo's concubine again.

She followed Long Kedo's daughter-in-law and knelt behind.

At this time, many people rejoiced that the emperor dismissed Mayanzhu's imperial status, otherwise those whose status was not as good as Longkodo's, wouldn't they still kneel behind his concubine?

"Nurse Niu, I didn't see that Concubine Tong's knees were numb and she couldn't get up, and she couldn't get up without winking." Concubine Niu Hulu said to a nun behind her.

The person called Madam Niu ordered two thick mamas to set up Concubine Tong Shu.

Concubine Tong secretly hated her. She calculated the time and struggled fiercely, "What does this mean, concubine? I think you should be the person who understands my concubine best. I didn't expect that you would not leave this last time of reunion to my concubine."

Concubine Niu Hulu's complexion became ugly, not only the faces of the female relatives of Duke Guoyi's mansion behind her were also unsightly, they all knew what Concubine Tong Shu meant.Concubine Tong Shu was so bold that she dared to mention Empress Xiaozhao at such a time.

Concubine Niu Hulu laughed angrily: "Don't compare you with me and elder sister. What kind of sisterhood is deep? At least I will not step on my sister when her bones are still cold. You are not afraid of the imperial concubine leaving Unsteady, I came to see you at night. Everyone is a woman, I advise you to use less fancy intestines, your trick is useless to me."

Concubine Tong Shu's face was ugly, she was pampered and pampered all these years, she was no match for the strong nuns, seeing the emperor coming over for a quarter of an hour, she lowered her eyes and quickly thought of a solution.This time, not only did she want the emperor to see her feelings for her sister, but she also wanted to beat Concubine Niu Hulu down.

At that time, she will be the only noble concubine in the palace.

Concubine Tong Shu was still thinking about it, but she didn't expect the emperor to come early today, and she had been watching outside for a long time.At the beginning, the emperor was really confused by Concubine Tong Shu's performance, and he asked the prince beside him, "The relationship between Concubine Gui and Concubine Tong Shu is very good."

He has four pairs of sisters in the palace so far. Except for the little Hesheli who passed away and entered the palace after the Yuan Dynasty, the others all entered the palace after the younger sister was alive.The situation of Concubine Niu Hulu is a bit special. Empress Xiaozhao happened to be ill when she entered the palace.

He remembered these couples of sisters clearly, the relationship between the two of Niu Hulu's family was the best. When he went to Kunning Palace, Xiaozhao pushed him to Concubine Niu Hulu because it was inconvenient for him to sleep.When Xiaozhao passed away, Concubine Niu Hulu was crying so hard, she didn't seem to be holding the coffin like Concubine Tong Shu at that time.

And if he remembers correctly, the relationship between the two cousins ​​of the Tong family is not very good, and Concubine Tong Gui's illness has nothing to do with Concubine Tong Shu.

So Concubine Tong Shu is interesting?

Although the words of Concubine Niu Hulu were not pleasant to listen to, it was not unreasonable to think about it carefully.

Kangxi's face was gloomy and terrifying. He originally planned to give Concubine Tong Shu a favor.Concubine Tong Gui couldn't be named in Jin Dynasty, he planned to add grace to Concubine Tong Shu, and conferring Concubine Tong Shu as a noble concubine was also an explanation to the Tong family.

Now, he snorted coldly, does the Tong family think he has no choice?If he remembers correctly, there is a girl in Tong's family who is just 12 years old this year. After delaying the draft for a year, it is just right for her to enter the palace next year.

After thinking about it, he lifted his foot and walked into the house.

Seeing the emperor coming over, one or two of them cried very sadly, especially Concubine Tong Shu who worked hard, but the emperor already knew what kind of person she was after seeing Concubine Tong Shu's performance just now, so he was not moved at all.

"Since Concubine Tong is so used to kneeling, let's kneel in the middle." One sentence determined the fate of Concubine Tong for the next few days.

Kneel in the middle?She subconsciously glanced at the kneeling person in the middle, and couldn't control her face twisting.

The one kneeling in the middle is Sifujin who has just married into the royal family, so let her kneel with Sifujin to be a filial son and grandson to Concubine Tong?

As soon as the emperor said this, the noble concubine Niu Hulu and the others almost burst out laughing, but fortunately, the few of them held back with good concentration.

Before the first seven days, Concubine Tong Shu became famous, but this reputation was not what she wanted.

Concubine Tong Gui was inactive for seven days, the emperor really did not raise her position, and her posthumous title was not Xiaoyi as the prince said, but Renyi.As for Concubine Tong Shu's idea of ​​promoting her, there is no promotion, but because of Concubine Tong's death, this year's draft has been postponed to next year.Just like the death of the queen, the whole country mourns for a year and no weddings are allowed.

This treatment is already comparable to that of the queen, anyone can see that the emperor has a high opinion of the noble concubine Renyi.

No matter what others say about the emperor's request, Yinfeng is secretly happy. With this year as a buffer, no one will mention the concubine to him.A year later, he will have children, so he will naturally sleep in the same bed with the princess.

When talking about the one-year postponement of the draft, Yinfeng gloated even more, "There is a girl from the Tong family branch who will just turn thirteen next year, and Tong Guogang's niece. Concubine Tong Shu will not be able to steal chickens. If one of these two enters next year Palace, it’s beautiful.”

Sometimes Yinreng can guess what Khan Ama is thinking, like this time.

Shiliu was also happy, "Does it mean that next year there will be more beautiful women? Then there will be more choices for the fifth and seventh younger brothers?" Both the fifth and seventh brothers give her a good feeling, especially the seventh brother She sincerely hopes to have a happy family.

"Yes, I don't know how many people are happy when Khan Ama's decree comes down." I don't know how many people are depressed.

For example, those women and their families who wanted to live in Yuqing Palace under the pretense of being pregnant.

Yinfeng licked his upper teeth with his tongue, and smiled cruelly.

Shiliu didn't know what he was thinking of writing, but felt that someone must have offended him with his appearance like this, and every time Yinfeng showed this expression, it meant that someone was going to be unlucky.

After Concubine Tong passed away, Pomegranate and the Crown Prince also followed suit for a month to show their respect. Afterwards, they did not change except that they dressed more modestly.After all, with a baby in your arms, if you can't get enough nutrition, it's not good for your baby.Both of them attach great importance to this child.
